Has Your "Diablo 3" Account Been Hacked?

We've been having a great time playing Diablo 3 since most of the game's server issues cleared up last Wednesday, but others haven't had the same luck.

Reports are coming in from all sides of accounts being hacked and gold and loot being stolen, according to Eurogamer. One of the site's own writers even fell victim to a hacker, who told the writer's online friends she had "just bought" the account.

We shudder to think it could even happen to us.

When the game's real money auction house is introduced soon (likely by the end of the month), loot and in-game gold won't be the only thing you stand to lose if your account is hacked. Blizzard needs to get this under control, and fast.

Has your account or the account of anyone you know been hacked? Tell us about it in the comments or on Twitter.
